lebaudantoine 4cb6320b83 (summary) add a language parameter for transcription
Pass recording options’ language to the summary service, allowing users to
personalize the recording language.

This is important because automatic language detection often fails, causing
empty transcriptions or 5xx errors from the Whisper API. Users then do not
receive their transcriptions, which leads to frustration. For most of our
userbase, meetings are in French, and automatic detection is unreliable.

Support for language parameterization in the Whisper API has existed for some
time; only the frontend and backend integration were missing.

I did not force French as the default, since a minority of users hold English or
other European meetings. A proper settings tab to configure this value will be
introduced later.

Experimental Stack

This is an experimental part of the stack. It currently lacks proper observability, unit tests, and other production-grade features. This serves as the base for AI features in Visio.

How it works

Please refer to the Recording feature documentation and the Transcription feature documentation.

How to develop

(To develop locally follow the instructions on developing La Suite Meet locally)

From the root of the project:

make bootstrap

Configure your env values in env.d/summary to properly set up WhisperX and the LLM API you will call.

make run

When the stack is up, configure the MinIO webhook (TODO: add this step to make bootstrap)

make minio-webhook-setup

If you want to develop on the Celery workers with hot reloading, run:

docker compose watch celery-summary-transcribe celery-summary-summarize

Celery workers will hot reload on any change.
